Mak Sou returned from two weeks in the US on November 20th. She was amazed! She said it was like the “Grinch” showed up and stole the Christmas spirit. She remembers years past when the day after Halloween, Christmas decorations burst forth in every store. She was in Rochester, Minnesota, not a poor city, and there were few Christmas decorations in any of the stores right up to Thanksgiving. The entire world seems to be going through a very difficult time. The Covid lockdowns greatly damaged the economy in Cambodia and apparently every other economy in the world. We want to thank all of you that gave during #GivingTuesday and we ask you to prayerfully consider making a “Year End” donation that will help us to continue caring for those in need and seeing Cambodia come to know Christ. Nevertheless, we choose to move by faith in a big God. In Cambodia, some FCOP churches are already celebrating Christmas. The staff and children have decorated our Training Center for a Merry Christmas. We have learned to, “Rejoice in our tribulations”, so we encourage you to do the same and spread the true love and joy of Christmas everywhere you go!

Merry Christmas!

Ted (Pa Thom) and Sou (Mak Thom) Olbrich,
